The media is such a wiener for Elon Musk. The dude will say baseless nonsense like "in ten years every one will have telekinesis" and it'll be a headline with no skepticism. Besides being an actual Nazi, he also has been wrong about everything for a decade. We aren't on mars, the hyperloop is a single-lane tunnel in one city, AI is still broken, and DOGE somehow added cost while reducing services. He's an idiot. Stop quoting him like anything he says is meaningful.

@rorystarr@mstdn.social I had an ex boss that went to work for Musk. Didn't stay there long as Musk is a twat. 😁

@rorystarr@mstdn.social I find it somewhat troubling you don't understand just how revolutionary a single lane tunnel under Las Vegas is. And I think we can all agree the coloured LEDs along the tunnel are something straight out of the mind of a one-in-a-billion genius.

@rorystarr Well that accusation with the rescue worker was meaningful. In the "accusations are a confession/projection" sense. It sure is a nice prelude to Epstein files release.

I want to note, too, that all of those claims were known absurdities when he said them. Mars was and, at least as he conceived, is never going to happen. The details he ignores are the whole puzzle. Middle management types love the idea that he's just cut through the faff of the overthinkers to get to brass tacks. No, he's ignoring the core logistic impossibility of all of those proposals. He doesn't understand anything and doesn't think he needs to--his opinions are worthless.

@rorystarr I love that the whole argument in the current legal case is that investors"took him too seriously".

@rorystarr Well, if we can send one neo-Nazi to mars, why not all of them?

@rorystarr Not to mention Full Self Driving in Teslas, which has been arriving (checks watch) any minute now for the past five years at least.

@rorystarr such a huge issue with journalism. They've become press release re-posters.

@rorystarr @cstross : He’s not an idiot: he managed to become the richest man on earth by making absurd promises. The idiots are those who believed him. This includes the media and those who still trust those medas.
